[theme music]

Pa, pa, pa, pa.

Pa, pa, pa, pa.

Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa,

pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa.

Ow.

Ow.

William, what time is it?

Oh, it's nearly 6:00.

And so maybe a little too early to sing.

Look at that, it's a good job I'm not a lifeguard

or something, I mean, imagine.

Yeah, right.

Hey--

What?

Let's go out for breakfast.

A wedding breakfast, a wedding preparation breakfast.

What?

Now?

Yeah, and then I'll take you to work.

Come on, we got loads of plans to make.

Like do we get a honeymoon?

Of course, we get a honeymoon.

Right, but do we go on our own?

Or do we take the kids?

And what about this one, church or registry office?

Church.

Well, I agree, but why don't we go somewhere special

to make all these decisions.

Just say yes.

What about the kids?

Who's going to get them off to school?

School? Are you kidding?

They were partying till--

I mean, they were still up when we came to bed.

Let's leave them notes.

Let's give them the day off to mark the occasion.

Because after all, this is a royal wedding, isn't it?

It's William and Mary.

Mm-hmm.

Mm.

Pa, pa, pa, pa--

[laughter]

[music playing]

[SINGING] And the man keeps saying, do you took this--

Wow.

[SINGING] --woman to be your lawful wedded wife, huh?

And I started thinking about no more

winking at the pretty girls [inaudible] by.

And no more dancing and new romancing, and it made

me want to sit down and cry.

Oh, no [inaudible] and a rooting and a tooting

[inaudible] my wife.

I can't go no place, I got to look at your face for the rest

of my doggone life.

This is it.

But that's, that's four, five months.

I thought were getting married as soon as--

William, four or five months is no time at all.

Yes, it is.

You're not thinking.

Yes, I am.

No, you're not.

OK, what about?

OK, OK, where are we going to live?

No all right, yeah, yeah, I don't mind, let's

try your place.

My place?

We wouldn't all fit in my flat.

Well, that's what I thought.

But would we all fit in your house?

Because we might have stayed over, but this is moving in,

and never mind all our stuff.

I mean, the house is big enough for you and the girls.

But there's going to be six people.

And pretty soon, that's going to be six adults,

because they're all growing up.

And they're all used to having their own rooms,

which they'd have to share, which could be tricky.

William--

Yeah, yeah, you're saying that we should--

but getting a bigger place, buying and selling in four

months, that's not possible.

There's Jane--

No, no, wait, wait, all I'm saying

is that, you know, let's see what the problems are,

and get on top of them before the wedding.

[phone ringing]

Hi, Doris.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

We've got three women on the go, and there's

only me and Jilly on the team.

And she's been on since yesterday afternoon.

[phone ringing]

MARY: All right, I'll be there in half an hour.

OK, bye.

Hello.

NICHOLAS: William, Cousin Nicholas.

I tried you at home, but Mrs. Ball

said that you'd, you'd left.

I'm having breakfast in Piccadilly.

NICHOLAS: Oh, really?

Splendid.

I've arrived at the office to a veritable barrage

of messages, faxes, emails.

Are you at work already?

Yes, yeah, I like to get in ahead of the crowd,

see what they're up to.

So see you in a jiff, yes?

Well--

It's very urgent, very.

Bye.

Can I ask what it's a--

Oh, come on, it might be good news.

Maybe it's about your mother's will.

Oh, god, no.

Look, why don't you go round there and find out and give

me a call later, all right?

And tonight, we'll name the date,

we'll pick a definite date.

And we'll start on the house, OK?

Yeah.

Here's the car key.

Oh, thanks.

Bye.

Bye.

[dog barking]

Oh, you bad boy.

He's a wonderful mouser and we have mice.

I wonder-- come through here.

Yes, I just wondered what exactly it

is that you think you were doing yesterday

at Excelsior Funerals?

It's about that, is it?

Yes that, yes.

Right, well I've decided not to sell.

One very simple question.

Did you sign contracts for the sale of Shawcross and Son?

Yes, I did.

But I tore them up.

I know, yeah.

They have it on CCTV tape.

They're sending me a copy.

But they didn't tear up their contracts, William.

Indeed, they still want Shawcross and Son.

And to that end, here's a copy of their banker's draft

transferring the sale price into your account.

Get out.

I'm not selling anymore.

I'm going to marry Mary.

You're getting married?

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

And I think that selling was a mistake.

Yes but not as far as they're concerned, you see.

And the law, I'm afraid, is with them, not you.

And they are quite obviously very litigious.

The business is sold, William.

Right, let's contest it.

Please, William, I counsel you--

Excelsior Funerals are a multi, multi-million dollar

corporation.

You go to court over this and I guarantee only one

possible outcome, you'll lose.

They'll be awarded costs and you will end up with nothing.

I'm very sorry, but Shawcross and Son, name and business,

are no longer yours.

[babies crying]

[pa announcements]

Have you done two?

Yes.

This is crazy.

I know, it's ridiculous.

Where's Stella?

Hiding.

MAN: Excuse me, sorry.

Is everything OK?

No, we've lost the-- we can't here the heart beat on--

on the belt.

All right, let's have a look.

Are you OK?

It's just suddenly stopped.

Well, that can happen.

Let me just move this.

Just want to move on to your side a little bit.

That's it.

PA SYSTEM: Maternity unit manager, call on line two.

[heartbeat]

There we go.

So the head's right down and the baby's turning.

So it's just moving out of range.

It's just I couldn't feel it moving and stopped kicking.

That's just all part of the baby getting ready.

Mary, sorry, a word please.

Yeah, just hang on a sec.

I'll tell you what we'll do.

We'll do a fetal scalp electrode,

that just involves putting a clip on the baby's head, OK?

So you can hear it all the time.

Yeah?

Would that make you feel better?

OK.

Have a think about it.

I'll be back in a minute, yeah?

This is crap, Stella.

I'm wiring up yet another woman.

There's only two of us working the unit, no other reason.

Yeah, and we've got a woman coming in.

She was going to have a home birth,

but the baby's in the breech position.

Who? Tracy Miller?

Yeah, that's right.

Well, she tried to have the baby in her flat, on her own,

just her and her four-year-old daughter.

Oh, my god.

The neighbors called the police and social services.

Anyway, when they get here, they'll go straight

to theater for cesarean.

So could you get up there.

Yeah.

And I'll take over here.

What swap, where are they?

She needs an FSE.

Well, doesn't need one.

PA SYSTEM: Maternity unit manager

to take call on line two.

Hello--

PA SYSTEM: Maternity unit manager--

Oh, William, hi.

Yeah, hi.

MARY: No, it's just bonkers here.

Now, I've got this woman coming in.

Well, you know, she's a single mom just like me, and two kids.

Well, one kid and another one coming down.

I promised her a home birth, which isn't going to happen.

But she tried to go ahead and have it on her own anyway.

And she had post-natal depression last time.

And, oh, William, let's just get married, OK?

Let's just do it now.

You were right.

Let's just get married and get away from here.

Mary, I've lost Shawcross and Sons.

What?

WILLIAM: They're making me sell it.

Just ripping up the contract wasn't enough.

I'm not an undertaker anymore.

William--

PA SYSTEM: Will Mary Gilchrist please come up here to three.

WILLIAM: I'm going to start again, obviously.

William, I'm really sorry, I've got to go.

I'm being paged, I've got to go up to the--

What?

MARY: Yeah, look, we will talk later, I promise.

All right?

I'm sorry, I've got to get off the phone.

Oh, yeah, bye.

MARY: All right, yeah, bye.

Taxi.

PA SYSTEM: Mary Gilchrist-- [inaudible]

Yes, I'm coming.

PA SYSTEM: Mary Gilchrist to [inaudible]

TAXI DRIVER: Which way do you want to go, mate?

Down here or left at the end?

Either, I don't mind.

NICHOLAS: I'm very sorry, but Shawcross and Son, name and

business, are no longer yours.

WOMAN: We can [inaudible] the bed sit, make it our home,

make it ours.

Would your flat mate mind?

[inaudible] no, [inaudible] long gone.

[inaudible] back in Poland.

You know, I got a postcard.

No, it's just the money, you know.

Maybe we should save.

Oh, you long streak of loveliness.

Oh.

[music playing]

[SINGING] Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go.

A woman's touch doesn't cost when a man's made her happy.

[music playing]

[SINGING] You have made my life complete and I love you so.

Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled,

for my darling, I love you and I always will.

Oh.

You all right?

You all right?

No, William, no, I am not.

I am not.

Not?

No.

I told that Mr. Two Hats not to sleep in the beds.

And there he was, as bold as brass.

So I'm washing the sheets and I've sent him on his way.

Yes, I think I saw him.

And I've packed the boys and Julia off to school.

But I'm afraid Kate's still here.

And I'm sorry to say this, William,

but she's really getting a little difficult.

Yes.

The locks have been changed.

We can't get in.

Ah, yes, I know.

You better come in, come on.

TIMOTHY: Hello, Mr. Shawcross.

Oh, hello, Timothy, how are you?

Have you had breakfast?

Yes, I have, actually, yes.

What did you have?

Scrambled eggs.

Got the paper.

Good.

I'll see you around, Timothy.

See you around.

MARY: She's a single mother.

This is her second.

Her first was posterior, but definitely not breach.

And not a bad birth, as far as I can remember.

But she did have post-natal problems.

Yes, us not having the [inaudible] doesn't really work

in this situation, does it?

Where is she?

[inaudible]

[inaudible]

We couldn't find her, so [inaudible]

What's [inaudible]

Tracy.

Hello, Mrs. Miller, I'm Mr. [inaudible]..

Who are you?

Let's just stay where we are, shall we?

Sorry, excuse me.

Tracy--

[inaudible] I was getting there

until all these blood people--

Tracy, breathe, come on breathe.

Good girl.

Tracy, Tracy, stop.

OK?

Stop.

It's not going to happen.

What do you want can't happen.

This is happening.

Now your baby is in breach position, OK?

And you're tired. - No.

Yes, you are.

I can see you are.

No, no, I'm not having a Cesarean.

Tracy, come on, listen to me.

Now this baby is coming out bum fast.

OK?

Now, if you start delivering and get into difficulties,

then that's past the point of no return.

OK?

A cesarean isn't even an option.

And if you're tired, and you are,

then that's real trouble for your baby and for you, OK?

Now, it's dangerous.

So where have they taken Jody?

They are not taking Jody.

But they are.

They've done it already.

OK, where is she?

Downstairs, outside.

All right, listen to me.

Listen to me.

I'm going to go downstairs and I'm

going to get her, all right?

She wasn't scared.

She was doing great.

All right, OK.

Hi there.

I'm Tracy's midwife.

We need Jody upstairs.

Mia, I'm Mary, do you remember me?

Yeah, is mom all right?

Yeah, she's fine.

She just wants you near. - Excuse me--

Come with me.

Excuse me.

Feel free to follow.

We're waiting for social services.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll find us.

You off somewhere?

I'm really sorry.

And it's all my own doing.

But there it is.

Shawcross and Son is no longer ours.

It's gone.

The deal is done.

How very strange it is not having a business,

and not to have the old premises.

But, well, I'm going into the market to start up again.

This isn't the end of the story.

This is a beginning.

And as promised, because you two have been as much a part

of this business as I have, I'm going to be giving

you each 5% of the sale price.

And that's 58,000 pounds each.

William, could Jane and me, I don't know, adjourn?

Yeah, well, why don't I go?

I'll go.

Dad, the water's cold.

Well, turn the immersion on.

I did, half an hour ago, and it's still cold.

Kate, can I--

See what I mean?

What, what do you want?

Well, look, Mary and the boys are going to be

moving in sort of permanently.

Well, yeah, you're getting married.

Well, yes, and, well, come on, I'm not daft, you and Brendan,

something's going on.

With me and Brendan?

Well you were both out there in that shed.

Dad, he was interested, OK?

And what was I supposed to do?

I mean, you don't think I fancy him, do you?

Well, I--

Oh, thanks.

Well, no, no, I mean--

KATE: Look, I let him down gently

and the moment passed, OK?

But, please, me and Brendan, god.

Yeah, right, well, thank you for your gentleness

and understanding.

Yeah can we now get a hot water system that can

deal with more than one bath?

Hey, hey, you got a problem with him,

you got a problem with me.

KATE: Dad's sorted, so when and where?

Kate.

Stand there.

See your mommy?

Yeah?

How is she?

Very cooperative.

MARY: May I?

Yes.

Tracy, look who's come to see you.

Tracy, hey?

Hey.

Hey, hey, look.

Little Jodie's here to see you.

Look, she's over there.

See, [inaudible].

We'll get of your friends in to look after her, all right?

Yeah, which friend's that?

WILLIAM: How we doing?

Nearly there?

JANE: Yes, we're ready.

Right, what we're thinking, and this is up to you,

obviously, what we're thinking is whether Jane and me could

reinvest the money that you're offering

us back into the business.

As partners.

Well, junior partners.

But with a say.

But not much of a one.

In fact, you can have my money for nothing.

I just want to be part of what's coming.

Well, listen, yes.

I mean, yes.

Partners?

And with a say?

That's splendid.

It'll be better than before.

And I'll tell you what, because we can't use

the name of Shawcross and Son, that's gone as well,

we could call ourselves Spalding and McKinnon,

or McKinnon and Spalding.

That'll be a new start, wouldn't it.

Our names in letters.

[inaudible]

[baby crying]

A beautiful baby boy.

There you go.

[baby crying]

I can't tell you how delighted I am, William.

Well, search for premises starts right here.

I'll get to work and make up a list.

All right, we'll speak later.

Bye.

Hello, Mr. Shawcross.

Timothy--

Nothing's in the papers.

No?

No.

Timothy?

Have you had 11's?



No.

Oh, good.

Oh, god.

Thanks, Mrs. Ball.

Want one?

No thanks, Timothy.

Do you think your mother will be wondering where you are?

Don't think so, no.

Maybe we should call her anyway.

Nah.

Won't answer the phone anymore.

She's only sleeping, only, in the next room.

MARY: You tuck that side down, and I'll tuck this side.

Keep him nice and warm, yeah?

Yeah.

And then your big sister's going to look after you.

Yes, she is.

[music playing]

Timothy, you do know what's happened to your mother,

don't you?

Yeah.

You know that she's died.

Yeah.

And what that means.

Yeah, I'm doing it.

I'm doing what she said.

That's for you.

I came round to see.

She told me not to carry that in the streets.

That's got the phone numbers of my sisters for you to phone.

And then, I will speak to them.

And I say, [inaudible] because mom bought that.

She paid you for the funeral, yeah?

And she told me what happens next.

She told me, you'd take her away, take

her away to your funeral place.

She doesn't come back.

And she said, Mr. Shawcross will handle everything then.

He will look after you.

WILLIAM: I don't have premises right now

and I really appreciate this.

You're welcome, William.

Thanks very much.

I'll come round later.

Right, fine, cheers.

[phone ringing]

Nicholas.

[inaudible] Yep.

Well, I spoke to your secretary.

Yes, Nicholas.

Nicholas, I was just informing you of what's happened.

And I'm informing you of what your situation is, William.

And I can tell you it's--

William, William--

[music playing]

WILLIAM: How are you, Timothy?

Just seeing her off.

There she goes.

Off she goes.

Has Pam spoken to your sister yet, the social services lady?

She's on the phone talking to my sister.

Right, several options.

Your sister can't get here till nine at the earliest, nine

this evening.

She lives in Guilford.

Yes, so, what are we going to do with you till then?

Well, you might as well come in and have a cup of tea then.

A deputation.

Yeah, from your entire midwifery staff.

It was like battery farming in here today, Stell.

Oh, come on now, that's not fair.

On the women, no, it's not.

And it's not fair on us either.

It makes some of us wonder whether we want

to do this or not, you know?

OK.

No, it's not OK.

And Tracy Miller should be in a side room

so her daughter can stay with her.

I won't be able to swing that.

Swing it?

That woman had chronic post-natal depression when she

had her first child and nothing that's happened here today

makes me think it's going to be any different this time.

You know, she is our responsibility for now

and for the next few weeks.

[music playing]

Your dad's quite handsome, isn't he?

He is, yeah.

Your mom's pretty too.

She was, wasn't she?

Do you think you could take a picture of this and, you know--

WILLIAM: Hi, guys, I'm home.

Yeah.

[door bell]

sh*t.

Oh, bugger.

Nicholas--

Yes, sorry, William, but stern words are required.

[inaudible]

Yes.

Look, I feel kind of weird doing

this stuff here, in the house.

Oh, yeah, OK.

Yeah, we need somewhere we can go.

Oh, right.

Because we've got to be cool with each other here.

Otherwise, with those two downstairs,

your mom, my dad, Mrs. Ball-

Yeah, we'll get sussed.

Yes.

Well, I know a place, like where we can go now,

whenever we want.

First of all, William, don't put

the phone down on me, please.

I'm only protecting your interests,

which, quite frankly, at the moment,

is an uphill struggle as it is.

Dad, I'm going to Lucy's to pick

up the work I missed today.

Oh, OK.

Hi, Kate, cousin Nicholas.

And Brendan's not to go in my room.

Why would I want to?

And my room's my room.

He's downstairs. - Kate.

I'm going to get some things from the flat, yeah.

All right, see you later.

Does Mary know? Where are you going?

Not with you.

Sorry.

Gosh, isn't she--

Kate, you know?

Sorry, yes, yes, you cannot, cannot sell a business,

William, and then go poaching your former firm's client.

Nicholas--

William, no.

William, no, no, no.

They will sue the pants off you.

Just a sec, these are exceptional circumstances.

Page two, clause 10, section C, states--

Nicholas, shut up a minute.

It's a pre-paid funeral.

Precisely.

Oh, for god's sake, come with me.

You might do well to remember the reason you employ me.

This is the son of the deceased.

Everything all right, Timothy?

[inaudible] yeah.

Timothy, this is Nicholas.

No talking please, I'm watching this.

Sorry.

He came to me this morning, because his mother told him

that I was the person to come and see when she dies,

because she prepaid for a funeral with us.

Yes, I see.

I then discovered that his mother's

looked after him his whole life, without any support at all,

so much so that the social services

don't even know he exists.

It's not uncommon, apparently, but new to me.

And yes, there's a couple of sisters,

but from brief phone conversations

I say that neither of them is that interested.

So that's what I'm dealing with.

And if Shawcross and Son want their prepaid money,

they can keep it, it won't even get touched.

Because I'm organizing this funeral through another

undertakers.

So that I can do for Timothy what his mother paid me to do.

And if anybody has a problem with that, I really don't care.

Yes, admirable.

And really worthy, William.

But legally flawed.

Now if you hadn't torn up the contract,

you'd be able to look-- - You're fired.

What?

You're fired.

William, my job is to point out potential disasters.

And I'm not a Jeremiah, but you tell me you're getting married,

and I have an immediate reaction.

Get a prenuptial agreement.

I mean, look what happened to me and Penelope.

A pre-nup, you are definitely fired.

Good night.

I'll call you in the morning when you're calmer.

I'm perfectly calm, thank you.

Good evening.

You have Timothy Winters here, I believe.

Mrs. Blackwell, yes?

Can I offer you my sincerest condolences, please come in.

No, I'll wait here, Thank you.

Right, I'll fetch Timothy for you.

TIMOTHY: Oh [inaudible]

Timothy, your sister's here for you.

I think she's got a cab waiting.

I never go to Guilford.

They don't like me there.

They don't want me in Guilford.

She doesn't want me.

Oh, I'm sure she does.

I mean she's here for you.

Come one.

What's going to happen to me then?

I don't know, Timothy, but I'm sure it'll be OK.

MRS. BLACKWELL: Come along, Timothy.

Look both ways.

Oh, Timothy, we're going to get your things now.

NICHOLAS: Goodbye, William.

I'll call you in the morning.

Hello.

Hi.

Quite a day, huh?

Hey, you got my messages.

Yeah.

What a day.

Let's have a bath.

You all right?

Just wondering what the future holds for Down Syndrome lad.

Who looks after him?

I don't know, his sisters I guess.

I don't know.

- Ow. - Ow.

[inaudible]

Got it, all right.

Oh.

So, bigger bath.

Bigger bath, yeah.

Oh, diaries.

Right, [inaudible].

Where are we now?

Oh.

We're in here.

I need the loo.

And another toilet.

Dad, I'm busting.

Well, can't you go in the garden?

Dad--

Mom, it's Gran, Gran's on the phone.

Oh, tell her I'll call her back.

Well, I'll see you're here and it's life and death.

Oh, Terrence.

And this skanky kid is shoving pizza into the carpet.

- Terrence. - His name's Timothy.

Well, he has.

Looks like a palace, not a bed sit.

[inaudible] would never recognize his little room.

Yeah, the bed needs to be there, because it's

the mirrors that make the difference,

and you can see them from there.

And this over there?

Yeah, but not tonight.

Life's funny, isn't it?

Yeah.

How long do we wait, after their wedding?

[inaudible]

Oh, [inaudible]

[inaudible]

You're meant to be in Poland.

No, no, no, no, [inaudible] I'm meant to be here.

Oh-- sorry, pal, is she turning you a trick.

This is Mollie.

Huh?

Mollie, yeah?

Sorry, is it your mother?

Mollie, Mollie--

Mollie, please, come on.

That was our home.

I know, I know.

And I'm sorry about [inaudible].

Of course, we don't want to live in a van.

But Mollie, Mollie, no, I love you.

You're my life, yeah?

You're my sunshine.

I'm going to find another place, a better

place, a better home, our home.

Am I your sunshine?

Yeah, look at me.

I'm tanned all over.

I've got factor 50 on here.

I know where we can go.

It's just we're desperate, we have nowhere to go.

Oh, you're a savior.

Oh, Mary, I love you.

No, I've got my keys.

You've got-- what do you mean, you've got keys?

I used to live there.

I have a couple of sets.

Mom--

Mary, don't get angry now.

Well thanks, at least for asking, I suppose.

Oh, I love you.

Yeah, love you too, bye.

She's still got keys to my flat.

Yeah, and we've got a pink carpet.

Oh, look.

Let's name the date tomorrow night, huh?

I like your idea of making it special.

Come on, I'll take you out, somewhere

we can't be interrupted.

Yeah, but I've got choir tomorrow and band the next day.

All right, then--

No, no, no, I'll ditch the choir and the band.

What?

Yeah, I don't need all that stuff, I got you now.

What do I want all that for?

No, but you love music.

No, that's what you always wanted to do.

Don't you dare ditch them.

We'll do it Friday.

How about Friday?

Yeah, Friday's good, but it's three days away.

All right, well, what about tomorrow before choir?

No, no, no, no, we've got to look at new undertaker's

premises tomorrow morning.

All right, well, Friday it is then.

OK.

Where's Brendan?

So, here we are then.

Have you've got the--

Oh--

Count to three.

One, two, three.

Nice.

Yeah, [inaudible]

Oh, hello, old home.

Oh.

Oh, it's a lot bigger than your bed sit.

Oh, look what I found.

Ooh.

Put some music on.

Yeah, what do you fancy?

Oh, something soft and romantic.

I know, Barry White.

Rick, Rick--

Yeah, yeah, I'm just looking for Barry.

Oh, yeah, Jane, well done. KATE: Night dad.

We'll make appointments to see all of them.

What?

Sorry, no, [inaudible] the kids off the computer now.

MARY: Where have you been?

BRENDAN: To the flat. MARY: Yeah, to pick up what?

Where is it?

BRENDAN: I couldn't find it.

MARY: Couldn't find what?

Sorry, guys, I need to get an email.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

RUBIN: William, hi, guess who?

Rubin.

Oh, wow, man.

I mean, gratitude, yeah?

And respect.

What do you want, Rubin?

Yeah, right, Rubin always wants something, eh?

You mean you don't?

I did a bad thing.

Demanding money like that.

But listen to that rap.

It's a band.

They're doing a small scale, big tour, those are the dates.

And 10 grand gets me a slice of the action.

They're hot, right, hot.

I mean, you'll get your money back, no worries.

Money back, plus.

You mean you want me to give you 10 grand?

Check them out.

If you think they're no good, I'm asking for nothing, OK?

[inaudible] and thanks for showing up, man.

[choir singing]

Come on, [inaudible],, let's go you up.

My stitches will burst.

No they won't.

Come on, up.

I don't think that looks like Spalding and

McKinnon.

No.

[choir singing]

Oh, I don't think so, do you?

No, no, no, let's go.

JANE: To glassy, and too much ado for what it is.

No, I don't think so, do you?

[inaudible]

[choir singing]

[inaudible]

Not for us.

Oh, no, no, no.

I wouldn't embalm a frog in there.

And she'd find out what it was like to be a ballerina.

But she knew that being a rabbit was the best, best [inaudible]

[choir singing]

There's more space in there.

What I want to show you is through here.

Oh, there's a thing.

Oh, I can get rid of that for you.

Oh, not thanks.

It's an extremely poor state of repair.

I must say.

[choir singing]

Please sit.

And let us now take some private time to remember Agnes.

[laughs]

Oh, god.

I work from home.

I have people come into the house all the time.

I can't have him living with me.

Well, I'm not having him, am I?

Anyway, it's social services' responsibility, not ours.

They're going to put me somewhere, aren't they?

MRS. BLACKWELL: Timothy, come here.

Come on.

Any news from the estate agents, William?

Hmm?

About our offer?

No.

Do you think we should have made a bigger offer?

[inaudible] Put that down.

Put that down, Timothy.

You really can't do this.

Oh, leave him alone.

Don't look so glum.

Sorry.

Can I introduce June Baxter.

June works for Down Syndrome Association.

How do you do?

June's very confident that Timothy, with support,

and possibly one or two carers, would

be able to stay on in his home.

Really?

Well he's led a sheltered life.

But he's learning fast.

And he wants to stay on.

Bug off.

You see what I have to put up with.

Well, as you can see, he tends to get what he wants.

[phone rings]

Excuse me, sorry.

Undertaker's phone going off at a funeral.

Very bad show.

OK, yes, Jane, thank you.

It's ours.

Ah.

[interposing voices]

That's actually quite dangerous.

Chicken.

So you're an undertaker again.

I mean, a proper one.

Yeah, yeah.

Needs a lot of work.

But it's good. How about you?

How was your day?

Oh, don't ask.

Why, I'm asking.

You know, single mom, just had her second baby.

No family, no support, just me bullying her.

I bet it was good for you.

[inaudible]

We absolutely love it.

Sorry, I heard the key in the door.

That flat is our dream.

We'll do anything, any manner of babysitting.

Yeah, or jobs decorating.

Anything at all.

And, well, you're getting married.

And you're living here now.

And it's such a fine house.

So, please, please, please, can we have it?

Can we?

Can we have it?

Can we have the flat?

We can, can't we?

It's ours, the flat's ours.

She hasn't actually said that yet.

Yeah or nay, what's the word?

Yeah.

Oh.

Thank you.

So when's your wedding day?

Yeah, when the wedding?

Oh, well, we're going to meet and have a chat about it

tomorrow.

But we think basically in about five months.

Five months.

Mm-hmm.

Five-- I can't wait five months.

Well, you're going to have to.

Well, in that case, Rick and I have

got an announcement to make.

Yeah.

In 16 days, because that's all it takes,

that's all the time you need--

No.

Rick and I are going to be wed.

I can't believe you'd do this to me.

Well, I'm getting married.

Well, well, say something.

Well, congratulations.

Congrats--

Yes.

Rick asked me a long time ago.

It's true.

Five months.

And we're having the flat.

Come on, we're all family.

We're all family.

We're all family, aren't we.

And we love each other.

What?

Mary, listen.

How could she do that to me?

Listen to me, Mary, Mary.

Be happy for her.

Mary, we're going to be happy for them.

We're going to give them a fantastic wedding.

Steady, in fact, that's going to be our wedding present to them.

But I promise you, our wedding, and I've

already started making--

I'm not going to tell you about that--

but our wedding, yours and mine, it's going to be--

here, I bought that today for tomorrow night.

I thought it'd be special, but it's quite special here now,

isn't it?

Here, try it on.

Yeah, let them get married.
